<p>GPA: 3.5 UW - 3.75W
PSAT: Predicted 1280 (I didn't study), but I'm hoping for a 1350.
RANK: Top 5-10% out of around 650 students</p>
<p>AP/Honors Classes: HL Pre-Calc, AP Calc, AP US, AP Eng, HL Chem, HL Span 3, AP Eng, AP Stats, AP Gov/Econ</p>
<p>EC's/Community Service/Awards: Tennis, CSF, Foreign Foods Club (VP), Journalism (Focus Editor), Early Academic Outreach Program, Relay 4 Life, Key Club (VP), Random Acts of Kindness Club, Conservation Club, Certificate of Scholastic Achievement, Circle B Athletic Award, Block B Academic Letter, and "Most Consistent Player" - Tennis.</p>
<p>Also 2 immediate family members had/have cancer during my high school years. My essay topic is about Relay 4 Life....I will have done it for 5 yrs, and the team I'm on with my high school friends should have raised over 50k dollars.</p>
<p>Oh I also got a D in Calc, one semester....so I hope that doesn't affect my chances.</p>
<p>u should be in at every one of these schools. Especially if u can break 1300 on the sats. U should really look into applying to more selective schools like uc san diego, university of arizona, etc. possibly ucla</p>
<p>Well I got it for the first semester. But right now I have a B for the second semester. Also I'm hoping my teacher will bump it to a C (since I was only 1 percent away), if I do really well on the AP Test...but I guess I'll just have to wait it out.</p>
<p>No it wouldn't. All your other schools are matches, so one reach wouldn't hurt you.
btw. don't listen to the guy who put University of Arizona in the same sentence as UCLA. If you are in-state why don't you try UCSD or UCLA ? Worth a shot.</p>
<p>Well I took Pepperdine and USD off my list and I added Penn St. and Illinois....and now I'm thinking of adding USC. UCLA is great but honestly my UC gpa isn't that great.</p>
